Full disclosure: I am good friends with the author, but I paid for my copy of the book.
Other relevant info: I'm not a dev. My review is probably most useful to people who need to get an overview of GitLab from a manager or dev-adjacent position - eg if you're being asked to implement this by your devs, and you need some additional background. The book does include technical instructions relevant to actually setting and working with GitLab, and the main audience is developers/programmers.
GitLab Quick Start Guide is a great introduction to GitLab (of course) but also gives a background on repository management solutions as a concept. It provides a good overview of the advantages of GitLab in particular, and explores the free features as well as what you'd gain by upgrading to paid features.
The text is not dry or boring at all. It manages to be informative and (somehow!) funny while also imparting the knowledge you're after, without being condescending. The book's structure is logical and ensures you have a basic understanding of the concepts before moving into the more technically detailed aspects.
If you're after an introduction to GitLab in particular, or you're trying to get your head around repository management in general and are interested in a practical example, I highly recommend this book.

recommend for quick start, was very helpful with understaing CI implementation in GitLab.
P.s. you must to know how git works in order to follow the instructor.
